[s-cars] intercooler

Hi Serge,

	I have the TAP intercooler in my car and am including some comparison shots
compared to the stock intercooler.

	I have NOT noticed any improvement in cooling effectiveness.... I am told
however that the TAP unit flows more air.... I don't have any data to back
this up and have certainly NOT noticed a seat of the pants difference.

	Also the TAP unit has a very obvious restructions on the inlet side of the
intercooler... See attachment...

	Personally I wouldn't bother spending the money to get it...

	Sorry about the quality of the pictures.

Cheers,
Achint
